Onychomycosis is a fungal infection usually caused by a special type of fungus known as a dermatophyte. Since most of these infections are relatively superficial, it would seem that topical treatments ought to work well. This is not the case because the nail unit is relatively impenetrable.

After answering many questions from patients about procedures, Dr. Gilmore began a YouTube channel in 2014 as a method of demonstrating many of the office procedures that are performed by Family Medicine physicians today. While words can be comforting, videos of actual patients undergoing procedures performed by Dr. Gilmore are invaluable in helping patients understand how various office procedures are performed. They are also helpful for patients in their decision-making about whether they would want the same procedure and how much discomfort they should realistically expect, if any. Dr. Gilmore is thankful for the patients who have volunteered to share their procedure experience in a video and takes care to ensure that the patient’s identity is never compromised.
